Rutgers Scarlet Firethorn
The Rutgers Scarlet Firethorn (Pyracantha coccinea 'Rutgers') is a deciduous shrub valued for its attractive and eye-catching features. It boasts clusters of bright red berries that appear in the fall and persist throughout the winter, providing a stunning contrast against the dark green foliage. In spring, the Rutgers Scarlet Firethorn produces small white flowers, further enhancing its visual appeal. This shrub is known for its dense and thorny growth habit, making it an excellent choice for hedges, screens, or as an espalier against walls. Its thorns also provide security and serve as a deterrent to intruders. With its low-maintenance nature and drought tolerance once established, the Rutgers Scarlet Firethorn is a popular ornamental shrub that can add both aesthetic beauty and security to gardens and landscapes.
